This weekend, along with a boatload of macaroons, I’ll have a ton of GG samples and coupons for those of you who’d like to try it :)

Garlic Gold created a Fitnessista Healthy Living Summit Kit which includes three of my favorite things: Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette, Garlic Gold olive oil and Garlic and Sea Salt crunchies (aka nuggets)- starting today, they’re $25 and the first 50 people to buy *here* get another set FREE (awesome gifts). They go quickly! For those who purchase the goodies after 50 people have bought them, the price will go down to $20 *here* for the kit.

Aight, I’ve got a plane to catch. See ya from Chicago!

Something to do:*This* walk/run plan for running newbies! It looks like a great plan and since many of you are looking to start running, it’s a great starting point.

I love me a BOGO deal! I just used OpenSky for the first time to get that deal. And TurboFire reminds me that I need to bring Insanity back into my life — I had to have it after seeing how much you loved the workouts. Insanity is awesome! Don’t stop telling us about your favorite products (and securing deals for your readers every now and then!) I’ve tried quite a few new things after seeing you rave about it on the blog, and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Next thing I need to try is the Sun Warrior protein!

HEY HEY!! Loving the Turbo Fire. Gina thanks SOOOO much for showing us part of the workout and endorsing it. I am a shorty at 5’1″ and I burned 580 in EZ55 today!!! I have NEVER burned SOOOO much in an hour. The afterburn is a truth too. I am still wearing my BodyBugg and I am still 45 minutes later burning a good amount of calories.

Yes, they are gluten-free and soy free. The ingredients are super simple and organic, whcih I love. I’m not sure if they’re processed in gluten free facilities though, so if you’re super sensitive I’d make sure first.

I’m sooo excited to try Garlic Gold! I LOVE all things garlic. I’ve been wanting to for a while and just decided this was too good a promo to pass up. In honor of payday I just went ahead and made the purchase without even giving it a second thought. 😉

Have a rocking trip!!! And if you need to escape the madness, the corner of Michigan Ave and Oak Street is a great place to do that…Gucci, LV, Prada, Hermes…all within 1 city block of each other. It’s a beautiful thing!

And oh yeah, amen for sponsors. So glad that all the work!! you put into blogging is also being rewarded$. Yes, that is beautiful too 🙂

I think I said this before, but you HAVE to go up to the far north end of Chicago to Devon Ave. for some Indian – don’t just settle for whatever you can find downtown! There are BLOCKS and BLOCKS of Indian restaurants on Devon, it’s awesome!

I was reading the previous post about your customer service experience, and it is disappointing that you had to ‘threaten’ them with bad blog exposure in order to get help. As a new fashion designer starting out, and also as someone with years of retail work experience, I try my hardest to give every customer my very best – without them, I would not be in business. Too bad the ‘big guys’ often forget this!

hey there Gina-have a good time in Chi-town.
Quick question-I was too late for the $25 deal for the Garlic Gold but I tried to add the second deal b/c it says it is in stock, but when I click add to cart, it says product not found!
Is it completely out of stock? I hate to lose out on a great deal. Thx.
